Ladies, has anyone had a spinal headache last for a week? Anyone had one and found relief? My poor sister had her baby last week and they used Pit and once she was having double and triple peak contractions, she had to get some relief, so she opted to go for an epi (which she did not originally want). They messed up inserting it and punctured her (not sure of technical term) and she leaked fluid. They offered to do a blood patch which she refused since the already messed up once. After she was home, she went back in and had the blood patch and it helped, but she is still in a LOT of pain. she is okay if she is laying down but when she stands up the pain returns- anyone have any ideas? I feel so bad for her!
Yes! I've only had one epidural, and that exact same thing happened to me. I had heard headache being mentioned as a risk, but I had no idea what kind of a headache they were talking about it. I had to lay flat on my back for a week. It was a horrible experience. I'm used to being up and about the next day, not stuck in bed all week. Ugh. I didn't find relief until it went away on it's own.

Quick question...didnt know where to post this. If I think I have a UTI do I call my GP or my OB? I'm 8 weeks post partum. I'm pretty sure its a UTI...I'm passing blood in my urine and it hurts when I urinate. (Sorry for the TMI).

I would probably call your GP, my OB wouldn't deal with that sort of thing after I had Gabby... Although, you could try calling her, it might be faster then your GP.

Your GP, and just be sure to tell her you are nursing so she'll prescibe something that's OK for that. UUGGHH, I hate bladder infections! I hope you feel better soon, are you having to go to work with that? I couldn't imagine working and having to go potty every 5 minutes. Bummer.

Did you call yet? Hopefully your GP will just prescribe something over the phone. You need meds today - because they only get worse!

I'm waiting on the docs office to open up. I am miserable. Fever and chills last night, and passing blood. Ugh...why does this have to happen. Here I was getting ready to ask Isaac's doc about exclusively breastfeeding to get him home. There ARE safe drugs aren't there?

Yup, lots of safe drugs for nursing. If they give them to babies, then obviously they are safe for nursing  You are going to want to get some good probiotics and take them though, so you don't get thrush.

Okay...meds are called in...well the second set. The first time what he gave me wasnt safe for breastfeeding (his nurse didnt tell him I was BF). Thanks for reminding me to check and double check.

Here's another vote for probiotics. Lotsa them, and lotsa plain yogurt!
OKay I got some probiotics. How much do I take?

Jen had good tips, I ALWAYS remind my doctor and the pharmacist that I am breastfeeding when I need antibiotics.

Whats a full dose? The bottle of acidophilous said to take "one tablet daily." I'm taking antibiotics 3xs a day.
